My clients come from within many sectors including technology, health, financial services, consultancy, travel, hospitality, entertainment and retail. I particularly enjoy advising on pragmatic solutions and helping my clients succeed in their projects.
I'm interested in data compliance projects, international data transfers, advising on new services or products that rely on personal information, data audits and data retention projects. My work also covers responding to data security breaches, notification of data losses to the regulator and negotiations on remediation work and compensation, as well as responding to complaints to clients and to regulators on data privacy issues. Increasingly, I am advising on data regulation, that is adjacent to data privacy, in AI, cyber security and data use.
Many of my projects are international in nature, advising clients on global solutions for their privacy compliance issues, where necessary coordinating advice from our network of specialist privacy lawyers. My clients come from around the world: most of my clients are headquartered in the US, China and the EU.
I sit on the Lexis Consulting Editorial Board and have contributed to the Information Commissioner's Legal Reference Panel. I have edited data protection texts and contributed to encyclopedias, texts and handbooks on data protection and freedom of information law.
